Clearer Thinking with Spencer Greenberg
Navigating Social Interactions Through Eye Contact and Societal Norms
Navigating social interactions involves understanding the impact of eye contact on connection and communication. The level of eye contact during interactions, such as on a date, can vary based on individual comfort levels. Society often projects norms about how people should behave in social settings, influencing perceptions based on eye contact. While some individuals find intimacy through deep gaze, others may feel more comfortable without intense eye contact. Societal constructs dictate the importance of maintaining eye contact for social acceptance, even though it may not necessarily enhance information processing or presence. Adapting to societal norms in social interactions is crucial to avoid being marginalized, even if personal preferences differ. By grasping these norms and adjusting behavior accordingly, individuals can navigate social situations effectively, ensuring smoother interactions in accordance with societal expectations.
